Does the spot where my philtrum connects to my nose being very raised make me a bad candidate for a lip lift? (Photos)

Helpful783245
Looking to get a lip lift, but the spot where my philtrum connects to my nose is very raised, does this make me a bad candidate? Still conflicted on getting lip lift and looking for doctor second opinions. I dislike how long my philtrum is but I am nervous about scarring because the skin at the base of my nose is very raised (see pic 3) and I haven't seen many before and afters that show a similar thing. Not sure if I would be a good or bad candidate for the procedure.
